We have laws for a reason. Burn the laws and you burn the sport.

You can't judge the kid cause you haven't seen her shoot. All kids are different. I've watched kids at 6 years old shoot 4" groups at 100 yds. Everybody's different. Don't be so quick to judge.

My 8 year old son can shoot 4" groups at 100yds with a .50 cal muzzle loader. He has to prop up against a tree or on something but it can be done with little practice.
EDIT- My bad...I thought he was talkin about letting her pull the trigger on a gun for some reason.

The odds of a nine year old shooting at a deer and injuring it are high. Don't make a bad name out of this sport. Wait until she is old enough to legally hunt.

What state are you hunting in? The reason I ask is that here in Georgia anyone under 12 doesn't have to have a license, the just have with a licensed adult hunter (18 or older). As for poaching I personally don't think so. This would be a good question for your state wildlife guys.

RE: is this poaching?????
i am not a law breaker of the sport and our rule book says that she is not yet old enough so to much of my disapointment she will have to sit on the side lines and be dad's right hand girl in the woods for a few more years[X(]
but in one way it is good because by then i will have hopefully taught her most of what ii know "in the woods" i believe she won't loose intrest by then its only 5 years away and she will be legal
thank you for all your replies its interesting to see our different thoughts on the matter!!
happy huntin...and straight shootin!!!

RE: is this poaching?????
I wouldn't consider it poaching. If no one sees it then you're good. Mind you, I'm not condoning poaching but this is just pulling the trigger. Furthermore, the little girl has a far less chance of killing the deer than her father so you're really giving the deer a better chance while encouraging a newbie into the sport. In my state, it's legal because it's party hunting. I don't consider it wrong to let her do that.
What's the difference if you pull the trigger or she does? Just a thought. Use your own discretion.

RE: is this poaching?????
What the heck is the difference between this and letting your 15yr old drive? They are both illegal, and I'd bet dimes against donuts that most of you drove before legal and let your kids do the same....WHEN YOU KNEW THE SITUATION WAS RIGHT.
Get her hooked...IF THE SITUATION IS RIGHT.
